Even before the Third Annual Drukpa Council officially started, His Holiness had started giving teachings to thousands. Today's teachings concerned Bardo, death and its relationship with Mahamudra.

The medical clinic continued providing care to many hundred more local Ladakhis. Many volunteers and participants visited the clinic, volunteering their time to help these underserved Ladakhis. Kyabje Thuksey Rinpoche also visited the clinic to bless and comfort the its patients.

Finally, His Holiness blessed the opening of a new coffee shop which will provide refreshment for the many thousands of participates who are expected to attend tomorrow's opening ceremony. This coffee shop may continue to be maintained by the nuns at Naro Potang after the ADC ends.
